UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to an estimated $820 million for the drawing on December 6, 2025.

In fact, 2025 has seen some remarkable wins, including a $526.5 million jackpot claimed in California in March and a $328.5 million prize won in Oregon in January. These figures highlight the excitement and life-changing potential of this popular lottery game.
Tonight’s winning numbers are 13-14-26-28-44 with Powerball 7 and Power Play 2x. Tickets cost just $2 and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
